OpenEconomics has acquired 100% of t33, a consulting firm specialised in evaluation, technical assistance and capacity building for public policies, with a solid track record in programmes financed by European funds.
t33’s arrival in the OpenEconomics Group marks a strategic step in the growth path that OpenEconomics has defined together with its shareholder Algebris Investments. In particular, it significantly strengthens the Group’s expertise in public policy impact evaluation, technical assistance and capacity building. The acquisition further consolidates OpenEconomics’ positioning in the European market and enhances the Group’s ability to support institutions and large organisations in managing complex programmes, in monitoring and evaluation processes, and in the transition towards more digital, transparent and evidence‑based governance.
The integration of t33’s capabilities enables OpenEconomics to offer policy‑makers an end‑to‑end support model covering the entire policy and programme cycle: from design to implementation, from monitoring to impact evaluation, through to reporting based on measurable indicators that are comparable at European level.
Advisors to the transaction
OpenEconomics was assisted by a pool of advisors, comprising Mbadvisory S.r.l. for strategic support and the M&A team of TONUCCI & PARTNERS – with Gianluca Cambareri (partner), Giuseppe Santarelli and Eleonora Ieradi – for legal matters. The transaction was financed by Banca del Fucino, which acted as sole financing bank.
